Josh Jackson is up to 35% from 3 this year. Free throw percentage is still poo poo, but god drat is it a good sign to see his shot coming around. I'd be really tempted by him at #1. Am I a dumbass? And I love Fultz.

pretty dumb yeah Also re: the 3 point shooting MourningView posted:They tend to correlate really well outside of very rare cases like Bruce Bowen. Low FT% but high 3 pt% is a pretty good sign that someone's 3 pt% might be a sample size fluke that won't carry over (good recent example is Justise Winslow). I think college FT% actually has a higher corellation with NBA 3 pt% just because the sample is larger

Fultz is a much much easier choice for the Sixers than like the Lakers or Celtics, who should also pick him without thinking about it too much.

Jaron Blossomgame, I'm not sure how he will do in the pros. Like a SF who primarily scores in the post is probably not gonna do much in the league. Funny enough his shot looked great when I saw it but he's like a 27% three point shooter. He's also currently like five years older than than Brandon Ingram. Still, I kind of feel like maybe with the right team he could find a way to stick around a long time as a role player. Chimezie Metu, I'm probably not gonna get a whole game of this season with what's left, so I will have to go on observing a few separate halves. He is the type of guy who I think whose stock will go up in team's workouts, because he has a knack for knowing when to cut and he finishes well around the rim and those are the bigs that tend to move up when they also have measurements (or at least they have recently). Also he could maybe be a good rim protector. He has a lot of bad basketball fundamentals though which lead to hilarious things like guys who are like 6'4" constantly boxing him out on the boards and has a very ugly post game.

Donovan Mitchell doesn't really look like he'd be a good athlete but he can be pretty explosive. He seems fairly comfortable being a cog in an offense which sounds like a knock but a lot of the guys who will probably go higher stop when they don't have the ball. He's not as natural of a passer as some other guys but he does make some nice reads, and seems to have a good basketball mind. At times he kind of looks like mini Artest, completely locking into guys, and hunting every ball that comes loose, other times he looks completely bored. The height is a determent for sure, as is the shot (he has the high school heave) but I don't think guys are going to enjoy screening him very much, I could see him staying on the floor on a team who wouldn't need him to score. I feel like his role on the next level is backup/replacement guard. My unfounded idea when looking at his body is that because he's like a short stout dude he won't get injured a lot but I am not a doctor so who knows. I like Devote Graham in the context of that Kansas team. He's not really taking his threes from NBA range but still his shooting is hard to argue with. He's quick and can get to the basket or turn the corner for his shot well. He's short and thin though so he might have a hard time defending anyone under any circumstance. Also he's a jr. I dunno, I could see him shooting the lights out in the combine or the tournament and creeping up to the high second, maybe even the end of the first but he kind of looks like the classic "let's bring him into summer league and kick the tires on him" player.

So with the Boogie trade to NO do they continue course and potentially pick up one of Fox or Monk? Or do they have another trade in them to complete their trio.

If New Orleans keeps their pick then it will be top 3 and they probably aren't taking either of those guys. Otherwise they won't have a first round pick and they probably won't have the ammo to trade for one so Fox and Monk probably aren't on the table for the Pelicans right now. Unless you were wondering how the Kings complete the Hield/WCS/??? trio

They probably would need to win like 15/16 games out of their remaining schedule to make it, which would be 15-10 in their finals games. Their wing and guard rotations are really, really bad. They literally have 4 guards on their roster right now. Jrue Holiday Etwuan Moore Tim Frazier At least two of those guys need to be on the court at all times for them for 25 games.

Paul Zuvella posted:They really need to do something if they want a chance to make the playoffs. With the Cousins trade we can't do much. We've got no cap space and no real assets. The only thing we could do is try to trade for some serviceable guards but we have nothing of value besides some incredibly cheap contracts like Jones that don't work for getting back anything of use. Unless someone really wants Omri Casspi's expiring or something. That's what happens when you've got 14 million locked up in two centers who can't play and can't trade. The team's just gonna sign some d-league level/washed up guards like Mario freakin Chalmers and Reggie Williams and just tell them to throw the ball at Boogie and AD. What's actually going to happen is we're going to be play Moore, Holiday, and Frazier over 30 minutes each. That's just the end of it. Sometimes we'll having both Hill and Cunningham as the "wings" when Moore sits. It's a joke but I'm fine with this small joke to snatch Cousins. Next year we'll stretch Asik and attempt to sign someone like Reddick or Korver if we can. Not even sure if we can afford that after Jrue gets maxed, though. edit: I'm just imagining the Pelicans being cosmically lucky and just barely missing out on the playoffs to somehow get that 1 in 50 or 100 shot and get Fultz.

I suppose you could make the argument that ball is big enough to guard sgs, so he can share the floor with D'angelo. But he's not that long or athletic, so it's not as natural an arrangement as the hand wave people want to make it seem. Also, D'angelo seems much better when hes handling the ball a lot and working in th eflow of an offense. Just sticking him to the side and asking him to play like Lou Williams or something while Lonzo is the Real pg seems like a waste of talent. I'm really afraid of Lonzo Ball as an NBA prospect, he could really contribute to the right team or he could be useless on a team without spacing and athleticism
